Letter on English taste and European art currents
From Lien Chi Miangi to Fum Hoam, the letter satirizes English nobility's rush to collect paintings while neglecting study, mocks connoisseurship, and details travels in Antwerp. It notes Reubens and Van Dyck works, critiques collectors, and reports on galleries and cabinets visited by a young English traveler.
